Explore the 5 delicious local specialties of Nha Trang!

When visiting a coastal city, you definitely can’t miss out on the fresh, delicious seafood. Especially if you’re flying to Nha Trang – a popular coastal town in central Vietnam known for its rich and diverse array of seafood, including specialties like grilled snails, conical snails, crabs, sea urchins, and blood cockles.

Oh, and don’t forget to pick the right places to eat where you can enjoy both great food and good value. You can visit some of Nha Trang’s fishing villages, where local fishermen catch the seafood, and you can choose your own catch, which is then cooked right there for you. It’s an amazing experience and the seafood is as fresh as it gets. Some famous fishing villages you can check out include: Vạn Giã, Đầm Môn, Bích Đầm, and Ninh Thủy.

Grilled spring rolls are a popular dish in Central Vietnam, but the Nha Trang version has a distinctive flavor that sets it apart from anywhere else. The rolls are made from finely minced, flavorful meat, seasoned and grilled to perfection. When served, diners wrap the spring roll in fresh herbs, sour star fruit, green papaya, and dip it in a special sauce that adds a unique taste. While this may seem simple and not much different from other spring rolls you might have tried, take a bite and experience it for yourself. We bet you'll change your mind.

If you’ve ever visited the flower city of Da Lat, Mytour is sure you’ve fallen in love with the Bánh Căn served there. In fact, Nha Trang's Bánh Căn originates from Da Lat, but when it reached the coastal city, it transformed into a seafood version, which makes perfect sense as seafood is a staple of Nha Trang's cuisine.

In Da Lat, traditional Bánh Căn typically features fillings like pork or quail eggs, but in Nha Trang, the fillings are made from a variety of seafood, including squid, shrimp, crab, or octopus. Even the dipping sauce is different, made from fish sauce, fermented shrimp paste, or sweet fish sauce, offering a much richer coastal flavor.

Tourists from Hanoi may be familiar with jellyfish salad, but Jellyfish Noodles might be a new and exciting dish for many. It’s one of Nha Trang's most famous dishes, and any visitor should definitely try it at least once. Just imagine waking up in the heart of this coastal city, strolling to a local restaurant, and enjoying a bowl of Jellyfish Noodles before embarking on a day full of adventure. Doesn’t that sound perfect?

Jellyfish Noodles in Nha Trang naturally features jellyfish as its main ingredient, but the taste of fresh jellyfish is completely different from the jellyfish found in traditional jellyfish salad. Additionally, the dish includes fresh fish and various herbs, creating a delicious broth with a sweet, mildly tangy flavor. It’s a perfect combination for a simple yet remarkably memorable dish.

Bánh Xèo is a popular snack across many regions of Vietnam, but in Nha Trang, it’s uniquely filled with seafood, particularly squid. The batter is mixed with fresh squid, then fried crispy alongside bean sprouts and quail eggs. It's served with fresh herbs and a special dipping sauce. Although the batter can be filling, the freshness of the squid and the variety of herbs ensure you won’t get bored of the taste – in fact, you might just find yourself wanting more! And the best part? It's very affordable, with one serving costing only about 25,000 to 30,000 VND.

In fact, Nha Trang has many other delicious specialties such as: Lac Canh grilled beef, fish cake noodle soup, tamarind-glazed squid, and Ninh Hoa fermented pork…
